History Main / BaroquePop

Baroque pop then faded into the background as [[PunkRock punk rock]], [[HeavyMetal metal]], [[{{Electronic Music}} electronic music]], and [[ProgressiveRock progressive rock]] dominated the music scene. It slowly started to revive. Now baroque pop is more common, although its musicians are often classified under indie, [[AlternativeRock alternative]], folk, Americana, {{Britpop}}, or [[DreamPop dream pop]] instead.

The exact origins of baroque pop are unknown. Burt Bacharach and Phil Spector often made or produced classical-inspired music. The Zombies' "She's Not There" is often cited as an early example of the subgenre, but although the song had many harmonic qualities found in later baroque pop, it didn't use classical instrumentation. The song and group did inspire Michael Brown to form The Left Banke, whose 1966 single "Walk Away Renée" is considered the first true baroque pop single. TheBeatles, TheBeachBoys, TheMoodyBlues, {{Abba}}, the BeeGees, and ProcolHarum are a couple of bands from this time that had absorbed the influence of the subgenre.
